ANYCNE lNTEEESTED enough to look up the educational attributes of Phoenix Union teachers would be surprised at the years of training and preparation our faculty mem- bers have. Not too long ago, anybody with a high school diploma could start teaching in the grade schools, and all that was needed for admission to high school teaching was one or two years of college. Today one must have his Master's degree to join the PUHS faculty. l-le must also be Well trained in his special field and understand the needs of his students. lt is not too much to say that because Phoenix l-ligh students have had outstanding teachers We can trace the prog- ress of alumni who are making a bright mark in the World today. if v OFFICERS of the Classroom Teachers' Association gather for a confab.

We Picked Cotton For Parachutes ln the face ot national emergency Uncle Sam sent out a call tor assistance in the tactory and on the tarm iield, thus hoping to bring together the loose ends of victory. From the most densely populated portions to the smallest community Americans re- sponded eagerly. Faced with a shortage ol cotton pickers, and knowing no alternative We dug right in and brought that cotton to market. Today, hundreds, perhaps thousands ot American airmen, are using parachutes made ot the crops that citizens of this community picked. This Cotton tor Victory program was backed wholeheartedly by the students and faculty members oi the Phoenix schools, who spent hours daily under the Arizona sun so that this project might be completed.
